Syntax
date

Operands
[MMDDhhmmCCYY]
Specifies the date by the day, month, time, and year–this requires an Admin session.
[MMDDhhmmCCYY] is as follows:
• MM—01 through 12 corresponds to January through December
• DD—01 through 31 corresponds to the day of the month
• hh—00 through 23 corresponds to the hour on a 24-hour clock
• mm—00 through 59 corresponds to the minute
• CC—20 corresponds to the millennium and century
• YY—00 through 99 corresponds to the decade and year
If you omit [MMDDhhmmCCYY], the current date is displayed, which does not require an Admin
session.
Notes Network Time Protocol (NTP) must be disabled to set the time with the
date
command. To disable
the
NTPClientEnabled
parameter, enter the
set setup system
command.
When setting the date and time on a switch that is enabled for SSL connections, the switch time must
be within 24 hours of the workstation time. Otherwise, the connection will fail.
